I'm Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail - Claude King[00:00:01]

Written by：R. Carter[00:00:04]

I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray[00:00:11]

To the warden of the penitentiary[00:00:17]

I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way[00:00:23]

I'm just here to get my baby out of jail[00:00:28]

Yes warden I'm just here to get my baby out of jail[00:00:34]

I tried to raise him right and I prayed both day and night[00:00:43]

That he'd never follow the footsteps of his dad[00:00:48]

I have searched both far and wide and I feared that he had died[00:00:54]

Now at last I found my baby here in jail[00:01:00]

Yes warden at last I found my baby here in jail[00:01:06]

It was just five years today since my husband passed away[00:01:14]

He was found beneath the snow so cold and white[00:01:20]

Made a vow to keep his ring his golden watch and his chain[00:01:26]

But the county laid my husband in the ground[00:01:31]

Yes warden the county laid my husband in the ground[00:01:37]

I will pawn you my watch I will pawn you my chain[00:01:57]

I will pawn you my golden diamond ring[00:02:02]

I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors[00:02:08]

If that will get my baby out of jail[00:02:14]

Yes warden if that will get my baby out of jail[00:02:19]

Then we heard the warden say to that lady old and gray[00:02:28]

I will bring your baby boy to your side[00:02:34]

Two iron gates swung wide apart she held her darlin' to her heart[00:02:39]

She kissed her baby boy and then she died[00:02:45]

Yes smiling in the arms of her darling boy she died[00:02:51]
